Paddle Tire Poll

[LazeR]

I have a 02 400ex....mods are in sig and im getting a HMF Slip on. My paddles are starting ot wear down (they are sand sharks) My question is...What do you think a better paddle would be...A straight blade like a hauler (if you choose hauler please specify how many paddle) or a v-blade like a sand shark..or maybe something with alil more bite like a sand skate

the sharks just don't really cut it....I think i need something with more bite...but not sure how my quad would do with haulers!

[zephead400ex]

Kings Turbo Paddles are what I recommend. They are the exact same straight cut as the Haulers, almost 1/2 the price. These are the paddles I run, I have absolutely no complaint about these paddles.

i run turbos too, ive done three weekend rides on them, so roughly 25 hours on them, still look brand new:cool: great tires

How much do the Turbo paddles weigh compaired to the haulars?

[Jailor EX]

Don't buy the King Turbo's you'll be sorry. I have had the king turbo's and now have the Hauler Extremes the haulers are 10 times better even if they are both straight cut paddles. The haulers are about half the weight and the hook up is ten times greater. I can climb things with the haulers that I never would of made with the turbos. I run 22x11x10 8 paddle Extremes and they are worth every penny. On an 04 400 EX. Trust me save yourself some heart ache and just buy the Skat Tracs.

Stick with the haulers, you wont be sorry. I have ran 8 and 9 paddles on my 00 400ex, and have road friends bikes with skates and every other paddle imaginable and the only one I would recommend is the hauler.

I wood go with sand stars they are they best for a 400. Dune hoppers are good cheap and hook up ;) P.S. We need to go riding together at narly R's.

8 Paddle Extreme Haulers for a 10" rim weigh about 10# each.

i run 8 paddle haulers, but you might want 7 paddle if you dont have any engine work.

i dont know about the sand skates, but i have ran the Gecko's and I would go with the straight paddle haulers any day.....infact i need to sell some gecko's if anyones interested

i bought a set of those AMS paddles that are a v paddle but have 4 ribs in the paddle. they hooked AWSOME!!!! i would buy them again. but i may put those on my 400 and by hauler 8 paddles for my 450r. i did like the ams tires though

ams aerospeed (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=14313&department=647&Division=6) :huh

I have Sand Stars and absolutely love them. They are by far the most versatlie paddle available. You can drag with them with their excellent hook up and can cut donuts if you want, they slide great. Very good all around paddle.

8 paddle haulers on 8's

[ckasper18]

I like the haulers best.I have a set the new ams tires that are nice but the hauler still is my choice........Chris

Yea no kiddin, If he gets his quad up and running!

[tglandon]

i would have to say for all out draging the haulers are the best but if you want turning to play a roll i would get itp sandstars both work really good.

sand stars soak up too much power. we tested them in glamis last year on my 400ex...i was pinned the whole time. ive got 20x10x8 haulers on order for this tday...first year with the 450r...cant wait!!!

[iceracer65]

hmmm...i was looking at some pics and guess i did have "some" fun with the sand stars. they did soak up alot of power compared to the haulers tho.
